Kallup McCoy is a recovered drug addict and now 2:40 marathon runner, ultramarathon runner, running coach, and co-founder of RezHOPE--a non-profit organization that supports people in recovery from substance use disorders.

This is one of the most moving and inspirational episodes I've recorded so far. In this episode, we talk about Kallup's 20-year battle with drug addiction, overdosing six times, dying multiple times, considering suicide, spending time in jail, losing loved ones to drug addiction, finding running as a savior, finding God, running his first marathons & triathlons, running over 1,000 miles from North Carolina to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears, how to find purpose in life, and so much more.
